Thank Goodness You're Here! is an indie slapstick comedy adventure game. It was developed by Coal Supper and published by Panic.
Thank Goodness You're Here! is set in a fictional town of Barnsworth, in Northern England. The game's protagonist is a traveling salesman, having arrived to meet the mayor. Since they came too early, they pass their time by exploring and meeting the locals, who give them various, increasingly stranger tasks.
The game's story is based on traditional Yorkshire folklore.
The gameplay of Thank Goodness You're Here! consists of two layers. The first is exploring Barnsworth from the isometric perspective. We must travel around the town, meet its inhabitants and accept various tasks, such as lawnmowing or baking cakes. Over time, the missions become increasingly stranger, leading to weirder and wackier adventures. Completing tasks unlocks new areas of the town, and therefore new characters and new tasks. The second are side-scrolling action sequences, requiring good reflexes.
Thank Goodness You're Here!features colorful, cartoonish visuals.

Game Ratings for Thank Goodness You're Here! Video Game.
Shacknews: 9 / 10 by TJ Denzer
Thank Goodness You’re Here is something altogether different from most of what I’ve played in 2024, and refreshingly so. It’s most certainly a game with some puzzle-minded antics, but it feels more like a lengthy comedy special, and the slapstick absurdity of it stays refreshing with plenty of surprises and ridiculousness throughout the adventure. Even the parts I didn’t initially enjoy ultimately felt like they needed to be there because it felt like part of the joke. Even so, be prepared for some very esoteric solutions and a complete lack of guidance as you learn to adapt to the wacky way this game wants you to think.
PlayStation Universe: 8 / 10 by David Carcasole
Thank Goodness You're Here! is a game for a short time and not a long time, and that combo makes playing it a great time. I understand the humour in it might not be for everyone, but for those that do enjoy it you'll see just how wonderfully the comedy is woven into the gameplay. The charming visual style and absolutely amazing voice acting make it an absolutely hilarious game.
Game Rant: 3.5 / 5 by Michael Leri
